Does anyone know know the heat tolerance of flash devices? I started keeping mine in my car when my cai air filter fell off once and I my engine almost came to a dead stop. I am worried about the summer temps though messing up the sct. I would rather not keep it in the cabin as I keep the top down alot.

why did you decide to keep it in the car? even if the CAI did fall off, how did having the tuner help?
i would not keep it in the car. it will probably be fine, just like the rest of the electronics in the car, but why chance it with a $400 tuner?
I carry mine all the time, for two years, with no ill effects. I keep mine in the trunk, much cooler than in the cabin.

I always keep my Predator on the floor behind me and believe me, I've needed it a few times. Never had a problem and you shouldn't either.
I didnt realicze that trunks were cooler. I wouldnt have thought so. I just kep it there for security rather than the cabin

Well, it is mostly from personal experience. I've opened my doors and got blasted with heat and opened my trunk and it felt much cooler. I found the link above which suggests that the trunk could be cooler but it is still friggin hot nonetheless.
